Nicolo DI TULLIO

Nicolo DI TULLIO is an International Olympic Committee Young Leader, who grew up in a fisherman village, right by a rocky pocket beach, called Capolungo, Italy. As a teenager, he took up an ocean sport called surf lifesaving. It is a multisport encompassing swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and running on the beach. A choice that deeply marked his life, becoming a European champion.

Alongside his studies (BSc Biotechnologies, MSc Marine Sciences, MSc Marine Ecology and Biology, postgrad Biostatistics, EMBA, Master Sports Coach and the ongoing PhD in Management of Sustainability, Innovation and Healthcare), all marked top scores, and working career (Natural Sciences and Math teacher for the Italian Ministry of Education, former sustainability manager for The Ocean Race in Genova), he has never felt any greater passion than for the ocean and the sport domains. He decided to dedicate his professional career in the sports domain and sustainable management of coastal zones.

His role as IOC Young Leader is enhancing his perception on how important sports are for our society and for the natural environment, which led him to be a delegate speaker at the One Young World Summit in 2022.
